GETTING AROUND BANGKOK
Taxi
Bangkok has the most formal system of metered taxis, although other Thai cities have growing ‘taxi meter’ networks. In some cases, fares are set in advance or require negotiation.
City Bus
Bangkok has the largest city-bus system in the country. The etiquette for riding public buses is to wait at a bus stop and hail the vehicle by waving your hand palm-side downward. You typically pay the fare once you’ve taken a seat or, in some cases, when you disembark.
Mass Transit (https://www.transitbangkok.com/mrt.html)
Bangkok is the only city in Thailand to have an above-ground (BTS) and underground light-rail (MRT) public transport system.
